FAQs
Question
When is the RSVP deadline?
Answer
We need to provide our final numbers to the venue by February 15th, 2026. We kindly ask that everyone RSVP before this date to allow time to communicate with our vendors. If we haven’t heard from you by then, we will assume you are not able to make it.
Question
Is the venue accessible?
Answer
Yes!! We want everyone to have a great time! The Downtown Club is fully wheelchair accessible, including entrances, elevators, event spaces, and restrooms. Service animals are welcome—just let us know ahead of time. Accessible parking is at the venue (and we have valet parking for everyone), and rideshare or accessible taxis are also easy options. If you have any questions or special needs, reach out to us and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Semi-Formal: We’d love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day. Dress to impress in your best attire. Feel free to have fun with your outfit—bright colors are encouraged! Our wedding party will be wearing fuchsia. We kindly ask that you avoid jeans or denim, and please steer clear of white or light ivory tones. Let your look reflect the joy of the occasion—we can’t wait to see you all looking fabulous!
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
We’re excited to celebrate with our nearest and dearest, and are keeping the guest list limited to those listed on your invitation.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We love your little ones, but our venue is unable to accommodate guests under 18 years old. We hope you enjoy a fun evening out!
Question
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Both the ceremony and reception will be held indoors at the Downtown Club.
Question
What time should I arrive for the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30 PM. We recommend arriving between 5:00 and 5:15 PM to allow time to find your seat and settle in. Guests arriving after the ceremony begins will be guided to a waiting area and invited to join us at social hour once the ceremony concludes.
Question
Can we take our own pictures or videos during the wedding?
Answer
We’re lucky to be working with an amazing photographer (Kylee B. Photography) and an exceptional videographer, so our ceremony will be unplugged. Please keep your phones tucked away so our pros can do their thing. Feel free to take all the photos and videos you’d like during the reception—and tag us if you post them!
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes! Enjoy a full open bar with beer, wine, cocktails, mocktails, cider, soda, and water stations available throughout the venue.
Question
Is there parking on site?
Answer
Yes—valet parking is on us at the Downtown Club for the celebration!
Question
What if I’m staying in Philly with a car?
Answer
If you're staying in the city, we recommend planning ahead for parking. Valet is available at the Renaissance Philadelphia Downtown Hotel (our hotel block) for $60/day. We also suggest using rideshares like Uber or Lyft when possible—city parking can be a little adventurous.
Question
Since there will be alcohol, what should I do about driving?
Answer
Please, please don’t drink and drive. We encourage guests to stay at our hotel block just five minutes from the venue in a well-lit, safe area, or to use rideshare apps like Uber or Lyft to get to and from the celebration.
Question
Where should we send or bring our wedding gift?
Answer
Your presence is the greatest gift of all! But if you’d like to send something, our registry can be found via the Registry tab with our address pre-populated. Any gifts sent outside of the registry should be sent to our UPS box at 3720 Spruce St, PMB 187, Philadelphia, PA 19104.
